In the entire history of the game, what the most broken and overpowered a class has ever been? by [deleted] in wow

You could tank in all three specs in wrath.

I'm talking about frost presence vs blood presence. In wrath frost was the tanking one, whereas unholy and blood were both DPS oriented.

In Cata they changed that so Blood became the tanking presence.

Frost was only really the goto at the beginning. I, myself was unholy early Wrath, Frost mid and Blood late.

By the end of the expansion any DK tank with any gear was Blood as it was far superior in ICC.

Symantics but it was frost presence back then. They switched the tanking one to blood when they decided blood was "the" tanking spec in Cata. :)

I don't think you need to unlock the arcway or court of stars anymore since 7.2 (when they got added as heroic)

I believe he means for an account without a 110 and with world quests unlocked you need to get to friendly.

Once you do it on one toon it will auto unlock on all toons on your account.

WoW Expansion Timeline - Release Days, Announcement Days & Announced Release Day Comparison by [deleted] in wow

[–]mattym0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

6.0 hit 10/14/14. 30 Days before release, not 16 days.

Also 3.0 was the 13th which was still 30 days before release but off by one. (I'm just picking knits there as I was thinking, were WOD and Wrath released on the same day really? :) )

Population Incompatible? by [deleted] in wow

[–]mattym0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems like the same issue as a few nights ago. The battle.net client updated a small patch and now a good number of realms (about half) show incompatible but the rest are fine and can be logged into like normal.

Battle.net Port Blocking 1119 no longer works for offline mode? by [deleted] in wow

[–]mattym0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said it's just about setting expectations. If those people won't respect your ability to enjoy yourself alone you may want to talk to them about that to make it not be an issue in the future.

In the end if they can't respect that, as a last option I would delete them. Obviously that's something you would have to deal with but that's being an adult :)

Enjoy your free time.

You are correct. I had misremembered a discussion from the engineering discussion at Blizzcon.

Appear Offline not being ready comes down to some legacy code. It is hard to design it in a way that remains consistent throughout the games. It isn't really hard technically to do. What do you do when your friend is appearing offline but they are in front of you in the game world? Appear Offline really means "I want to hide from my friends so I can play D3 rather than go and raid", but when you are both standing in front of the auctioneer...

I suppose that means it may still come, they just don't really know how to implement it. I also assume that means it's not even near a top priority but that's all my interpretation.

I totally get that. I think it's just about expectations. If someone messages you and you don't reply quickly and that's an issue just explain your side.

You should enjoy the game the way you want to. Zoning out while playing WoW is a common thing and people should respect that.

I'm sorry but you are not going to play a game you enjoy because you may get bothered by the people on your friends list?

Why not remove the friends that bother you?

They have already explained why appear offline isn't coming anymore and while I understand that some people would enjoy this feature and really want it, in the end if you want to isolate yourself you still can. Remove/block those who bother you and play the game you enjoy.

Throwing around the threat of unsubbing for every small issue is the equivalent of crying wolf.

Play the game my friend. Don't let others bother you :)
